BV-120HR RED VOODOO All Tube Guitar Amplifier
The Front Panel:
1. POWER: This switch applies AC voltage
to the amplifier. It is very important that this
switch be turned on for at least 20 seconds
prior to turning on the STANDBY switch.
The switch is illuminated when the AC
power is on.
2. STANDBY: This switch activates the
amplifier and should only be turned on after
the POWER switch has been on for a min-
imum of 20 seconds. This switch is illumi-
nated when the high voltage is being sup-
plied to the unit.
NOTE: Do not turn the STANDBY
switch on until the POWER switch
has been on for a minimum of 20 sec-
onds. This allows the tubes to prop-
erly warm up prior ro the application
of high voltage.
3. PRESENCE: Increase the level of upper
harmonics with this control. The presence
control allows a boost of up to 5dB at
10kHz.
4. EFFECTS LOOP PAD:This switch acti-
vates a 12dB pad on the effects send sig-
nal and corresponding gain recovery on
the return. In the “out” position the signal is
full strength which is best suited for line
level rack mountable effects. With the
switch “in” the signal is lower which is best
suited for foot pedal type effects.
5. EFFECTS LOOP SWITCH: This switch
controls the effects return signal of the
effects loop. The loop is only active when
the switch is pressed in. When a footswitch
is used, this switch is disabled. The adja-
cent yellow LED glows when the loop is in
use.
6,7. REVERB: LEVEL 2, LEVEL 1: Adjust
the amount of reverberation on each chan-
nel with these controls: at the "0" position
the signal is "dry" (no reverb). As you bring
the control up, the amount of reverb
increases.
Channel 2:
8. VOLUME: Set the output signal level of
channel 2 with this control. At the "0" posi-
tion (full left) very little or no signal will be
heard; as you bring the control up (towards
center) the output level of channel 2
increases. Use this control along with your
guitar's volume and the channel 2 gain
control (#12) to produce a wide variety of
sounds.
9. LOW: Adjust the bottom end response
with this control. The low control covers a
range of 16dB at 100Hz. This sets the
amount of bass heard (and felt) from the
amp.
10. MID: Adjust the midrange response
with this control. The mid control covers a
range of 11dB at 650Hz. This controls the
“voice” of your guitar.
11. HIGH: Adjust the high end response
with this control. The high control covers a
range of 16dB at 10kHz. This controls the
“bite” of your guitar.
12. GAIN: Adjust the overdrive (distortion)
level with this control. With the control
towards “0” (to the left) the signal is rela-
tively clean. As you bring the control
towards “5” (center position) the distortion
increases, along with the overall output
level. Keep turning the control towards “10”
and you’ll increase the distortion even
more.
13. CHANNEL SELECT: Switch between
channels with this push-button switch. The
adjacent amber LED glows when channel
1 is selected (switch "out"), the red LED
glows when channel 2 is selected (switch
"in"). When a footswitch is used for channel
switching, this switch is disabled.
Channel 1:
14. LOW: Adjust the bottom end response
with this control. The low control covers a
range of 16dB at 100Hz. This sets the
amount of bass heard (and felt) from the
amp.
15. MID: Adjust the midrange response
with this control. The mid control covers a
range of 20dB at 300Hz. This controls the
“voice” of your guitar.
16. HIGH: Adjust the high end response
with this control. The high control covers a
range of 10dB at 10kHz. This controls the
“bite” of your guitar.
17. VOLUME: Set the output volume level
of channel 1 with this control.
18. INPUT:Connect your guitar or wireless
receiver into this standard 1/4" jack using a
shielded instrument cable.
